ORDINANCE OF THE TOWNSHIP OF GLOUCESTER, COUNTY OF 

CAMDEN, NEW JERSEY, CANCELING CERTAIN FUNDED AND 

UNFUNDED APPROPRIATION BALANCES HERETOFORE PROVIDED 

FOR VARIOUS CAPITAL PROJECTS AND RE-APPROPRIATING SUCH 

FUNDED AND UNFUNDED APPROPRIATION BALANCES FOR OTHER 

CAPITAL PROJECTS 

Mr. Bianchini opened the public hearing. 

Mr. Joseph Reed of Millbridge spoke about this ordinance and questioned why the township is 

carrying old bond money. Mr. Bianchini stated that the Township bonds according to estimates 

given by the engineers and professionals. Mr. Reed stated that we have been paying interest on 

this money and suddenly we are spending it and he asked why. Mr. Cardis stated that we have 

done this in the past. He stated that the Township could re-appropriate this money or cancel it to 

capital fund balance. He stated that contingencies are built into many of the bond ordinances. 

Mr. Reed spoke about all the bonds that were on the ordinance. 

Chris Foschini discussed the ordinance that will appropriate the funds. He asked where the 

money is coming from and the cost of the vehicle. He stated that he has been a resident for over 

40 years and it is the Township’s obligation to residents. He stated that the vehicle is something 

the township needs to purchase. He stated that we could have an Emergency situation at any of 

our schools, and this vehicle will protect lives of children, and adults. He stated that the Police 

Chief does a fantastic job and he urges Council to purchase the vehicle. 

Debbie Shinn of Easton Court in Sicklerville stated that she has lived in New Jersey all of her 

life. She stated that she moved into Gloucester Township in 1989. She spoke about the purchase 

of the armored vehicle. She stated that she was originally objecting to this vehicle on the grounds 

that if the Police Department needs this vehicle to ensure the safety of the residents then maybe it 

is time to move. She stated that the township streets are bad, and she hopes that the township has 

made a good judgment call on this purchase and must balance the need and wants of the 

residents. She stated that we must communicate better with the Sheriff’s Department. She 

stated that as a taxpayer, she already bought and paid for one of these vehicles through her 

county taxes. 

Paul DiBartolo stated that he has raised 6 children and one grandchild in this township. He 

stated that he wrote a blog on Patch that he thought was misunderstood. He stated that Mr. 

Bilodeau talked about Gloucester Township schools security and stated that the Chief thinks that 

security is a community issue. Mr. DiBartolo stated that he feels that the township is being 

militarized. He stated that if his home was invaded, there is only one person he can count on, 

himself. He stated that it would have been good to have a community discussion on the issue to 

make the town secure. Mr. Bianchini stated that this was discussed at a workshop. Mr. 

DiBartolo stated that the police will still not have a presence throughout the township. .

A resident of Glen Oaks stated that his mind was made up prior to this meeting and asked why it 

just put into the paper yesterday; the township should be more open about this. Mr. Bianchini 

that this ordinance had been properly advertised in the newspaper as per State Statute. 

Mr. Brian Bates, an officer and FOP president stated that in the last few years violence has 

skyrocketed. He stated that this vehicle could move us forward to prepare for these events. 

Gloucester Township Police will have this vehicle accessible to us at any time and the Police 

Department and the Township residents will benefit from this. He stated that if the vehicle 

could save one life then we need to purchase it. 

Joanne Foschini stated that she was a school employee retired after 43 years. She stated that she 

would like to see the township purchase this vehicle and have it available in this township. 

Mr. Ray Polidoro of Erial stated that with due respect to the officers, He stated that when he last 

spoke to Council he asked that the township utilize what is already available. He spoke about 

county's response to our statements, and he asked that before we move forward, no doubt police 

deserve and need this vehicle and if the council has done their due diligence on buying this 

vehicle. Mr. Bianchini stated that the Chief of Police is the expert and the township will utilize 

his recommendation. He stated that the Chief has spoken with the county and has cleared up any 

misunderstanding. 

There being no further comment, the public portion was closed. 

Mr. Hutchison made a motion to adopt, seconded by Mr. Mercado. Roll call vote: All in favor.
